As I understand it the VIDEO_CARDS parameters (fglrx, radeon, etc.) only controls what drivers should be pulled in when building xorg. So it should not matter much; I'm just curious as to why it's removed from the flags when for instance nvidia is still there... Out of curiousity, what doesn't work for you with regards to OpenGL? For me almost all fglrx drivers have worked flawlessly for years. I'm hoping to migrate to the open source radeon driver as soon as it's stable with my current chip (rv670 - radeon 3870). > There is http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=272659 , although it does > not really explain why midi is being dropped from ALSA. Found this: http://wonkabar.org/2009/08/02/alsa-cleanup-non-optional-midi-support-cleaner-confd/ ...not very much clearer but I left a comment/question on his blog. I'm just wondering what functionality gets lost... Thanks for the reply! Best regards Peter K
